In this episode of Yes But Why, we talk to Mardi-Ellen Hill, New York City-based composer, writer and thought leader.

By trade, Mardi-Ellen Hill is a musical composer, college professor, and business analyst. During her career, she won many grants and awards but for most of her life, Mardi-Ellen has been working on the story and the technology of the MEND™ universe.

MEND™ is rooted in a fictional narrative written by Mardi-Ellen and it extends to the business she built around the idea of her interactive story. She and her team created the MEND™ (Music ENcode/Decode) operating system that allows readers to decode the secret languages of the story and to discover clues as the plot unfolds. The MEND™ technology is also an invention within the story that is fought over by the characters. The story follows female protagonist, Lily Barrington, whose family’s checkered past places her in grave danger.

Mardi-Ellen notes that her biggest challenge with the project has been differentiating between MEND™, the work of fiction and MEND™, the real time operating system. Mardi-Ellen is a visionary in the world of business synergy, new media integration, and the mobile world of streaming content. She combines all of her skills with her creation of the MEND™ universe.

In our conversation, Mardi-Ellen shares the inspiration for her story as well as the journey of the piece. We talk about entertainment, education, and family power struggles. We discuss curiosity as the key to success.

Mardi-Ellen talks about the original play she wrote that got her an NEA grant to start the building blocks of the MEND universe. Mardi-Ellen talks about music and its connection to memory.

Mardi-Ellen Hill is an amazingly intelligent woman who has worked so hard to build this universe and she cannot wait to share it with the world! Support Mardi by checking out her website for the MEND Universe and by enjoying the music she composed for the story. Listen here for the main character’s theme song!
